Description

https://leanprover-community.github.io/mathlib4_docs/Mathlib/Analysis/SpecialFunctions/Gaussian/FourierTransform.html#fourierIntegral_gaussian_pi gives the Fourier Transform of a Gaussian

https://github.com/leanprover-community/mathlib4/tree/master/Mathlib/RingTheory/Polynomial/Hermite defines the Hermite polynomials

Missing are:

  • Hermite functions (continuity, IsBigO, Schwartz)
  • their Fourier transforms as eigenfunctions and diagonalisation of the Fourier transform as an orthogonal basis of L^2(R)
  • Hermite polynomials as a sequence of orthogonal polynomials under the gaussian measure

Research direction

Start with Mathlib/RingTheory/Polynomial/Hermite and the linked Gaussian Fourier-transform documentation to understand the existing definitions and results. The requested work spans Hermite functions, Fourier eigenfunctions, L2 diagonalisation, and Gaussian orthogonality. Done means the listed missing mathematical results are formalized in the library.
